Working together to grow more rice

I thank the Better Life Farming that has helped me very much with their program. Previously, I only harvested three to four tons per hectare. But because of good seeds and the right training and protection, I have harvested six to eight tons. All of this is because of ... the support of the field officers and technicians who have trained us and taught us to do the right things.

Hi, I’m Henry!

I have been growing rice on my farm here in Bohol for more than 13 years. I joined Better Life Farming to improve my rice crop and my income – My primary goals are to have my house fixed and to pay my old debts ... to have my own vehicle to be able to use it in my farming.
